Illegal aliens are parasites!

Has anybody asked the cows for THEIR opinion on the nationality of the person who puts the milking machines?

Carlos should move to a Texas Dairy the pay is better and better benefits like free housing and good schools and medical treatment for his family.

"I've always believed in abiding by the law," said Carlos. "I've always made sure that I've had car insurance and a driver's license.

"But if they pass (the bills), I will be forced to break the law. I need to provide for my family."

Doesn't Carlos know that he has already broken the law by being in the United States illegally!!

[Exton1]

“"I've always believed in abiding by the law," said Carlos”

If Carlos is so law abiding, why is he here illegally. Illegal aliens are not immigrants. Immigrants come here proudly through the front door to become part of the culture, learn the language, believe in Freedom. Illegal aliens sneak in through the sewer system to steal our welfare benefits. To ignore our culture, to become voting slaves to corrupt politicians.

"In many ways, (employers) need these people," said Van Woerkom, who realizes that many illegal immigrants are willing to take low-paying jobs that most Americans refuse.

WRONG!

If employers paid decent wages and benefits, Americans would not refuse the jobs. Employers are addicted to illegal labor. It means they can pay less and take advantage of their illegal status.

If we threw out all the illegals, employers would have to pay more and consumers would have to pay more. But wouldn't you pay a little more for milk in exchange for the privilege of living in a country that wasn't part of the Third World? Wouldn't you pay a little more to be able to speak to a store clerk without resorting to pidgin English and hand gestures? Wouldn't you pay a little more to not have to worry about your safety and the safety of your wife and daughters? Wouldn't you pay a little more so that a native born American could earn enough to raise a family and maintain his dignity?

Wouldn't you?

[janetgreen]

Wouldn't you?

Damn right I would!!

Are there any other FREE things (courtesy of taxpayers no doubt) that Texas gives away to Illegal Aliens?

[ThinkLikeWaterAndReeds]

Get legal or get out - maybe a few examples should be made of illegals to emphasize the point - what do you suppose would be an effective enough example to get the point across?

[Floratina]

"But what I don't understand is they're not attacking terrorism, they're attacking immigration."

No, beeatch, we're attacking ILLEGAL immigration.

[Floratina]

"Wouldn't you pay a little more so that a native born American could earn enough to raise a family and maintain his dignity?"

Yes, I would to that and the other questions you posed. I remember, during the welfare debate, a suggestion that welfare recipients might take these jobs and "activists" complained, saying that to do so would be like slavery.
